This is OBJ's state. His home is on fire and he is trying to fight a Federal battle.

The principles of checks and balances puts the responsibility on the State House of Assembly.

This is the same Ben Bruce that would not support the construction of the Maritime University in Delta State. He sat in the Senate when they slashed the construction budget to 1/3 of the proposed amount.

All the people that announced.the great Zik's death, all died before him.

What is so special about America? Atiku can be a President if the Nigerians so wish. He does not have to go to America. You have other booming economies like Dubai, Saudi Arabia, China and a lot more. It is slave thinking to believe that until you go to America, you are not accepted by your people.

Account Concerns. For the next year, from 2004 to 2005, Chevy Chase Bank conducted enhanced monitoring of the JDA Family Trust account without incident. In late 2005, however, media reports began mentioning Mr. Abubakar in connection with the ongoing criminal investigation of Congressman Jefferson. After learning of these media reports, the trust company decided to resign as trustee from the JDA Family Trust and close the trust accounts.
An internal Chevy Chase Trust Company memorandum dated January 30, 2006, recommended resigning from the JDA Family Trust for the following reasons:
“ 1) Mr. Abubakar’s source of wealth is impractical to verify. Under the US PATRIOT Act, Chevy Chase Trust is obligated to conduct enhanced due diligence on its high risk accounts. Since Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are high risk, Chevy Chase Trust must develop a reasonable belief that the source of funds is not derived from illegal activities. Obtaining sufficient proof in Mr. Abubakar’s situation may not be possible. Failure to adequately document the source of funds for this relationship would increase the regulatory risk to the Trust Company.
2) The ongoing criminal investigation of Rep. William Jefferson could spread to
Mr. Abubakar and his wife. If she were to be indicted, Chevy Chase Trust would be serving as co-trustee with person involved in suspected bribery of a US public official. Given the high degree of media that these cases are receiving currently, Chevy Chase Trust could be at increased reputation risk.”1164
With regard to the source of the trust funds, Chevy Chase noted that it “understood that Abubakar family wealth, principally that of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was the source of funds for the JDA Family Trust when it was established at Merrill Lynch.”1165 Chevy Chase noted that the trust had been fully funded prior to its coming to the bank, and thus Chevy Chase “did not undertake additional efforts to identify the source of funds in the account.”1166 The memorandum also noted:
“Prior to becoming Vice President, Mr. Abubakar was the chairman of seven Nigerian companies involved in oil services, insurance, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and the print media. From 1969 to 1989, he served in the Nigerian Customs and Excise service.

OBJ is only trying to protect himself from the eventual probe of the $16 billion power (electricity) money.

Public Order Act chapter 382 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.
1(3) The Governor may authorise the issue of general licenses by any superior Police Officer mentioned in subsection (4) below--------------------

5. Any person who knowingly :
(b) organises or assist in organising any public assembly, meeting or procession held or intended to be held in contravention of a proclamation or an order made under this section, shall be liable on conviction to a fine of =N=5000 or imprisonment for 2years or to both such fine and imprisonment.

These are 'Nigerian Senators' who should know about these laws. If they did not agree with it, they were in the Senate chambers where they could or should have changed it.
This is telling of the quality of Senators that we have.

PENGASSAN should take up the fight with TOTAL.

A DOTARD insults Africans, and Nigerians are proud of it.

How old was he? In some culture, you do not mourn somebody younger than you.

Can someone please clarify whether they were sacked or laid off. 18 years ago, OBJ was in office. If NLC, NUPENG and PENGASSAN are not interested in this matter, I believe that the people are probably not telling the whole story.

Niger Delta people should ask Ben Bruce to explain his role in the slashing of allocation for MARITIME UNIVERSITY.

These inventions and innovations are possible, because the people do not sit idle to say "I claim it and I receive it". Until we have more industries than religious houses, until we stay awake on research than vigils, Nigeria will remain poor.

This woman is at least fifty (50) years, if she is a day old.

Is this the same Sina Rambo that was an ARMED ROBBER ? If he is the same person, he should face murder charges for all the people that he killed.

This a welcome development. All the Libyan returnees should be posted to farms. Governors should stop giving them money.

If Indians dress like this, we do not see anything wrong with it.

The young people need to join political parties. We need to flood these parties with new and fresh ideas. Only party members can be nominated and voted for.

A time is coming when people will stop taking Dotard J Trump seriously. He has never stopped showing his racism. He is just like Hitler. Nature probably brought him out, to destroy the American Empire. Once upon a time, we had Roman ,Asyrian, Greek and the British Empires.

She should nave kept her mouth shut. What the eyes don't see, the mind don't grieve over.

FAAN should hand over the case to the CID for proper investigation.

It would be a lot more productive, if these churches can establish farms and send the willing returnees to work. GIVE A MAN A FISH, YOU'LL FEED HIM FOR A DAY, BUT TEACH HIM HOW TO FISH AND YOU'LL FEED HIM FOR A LONG TIME. Some of the free money will be used to secure passports and pay fresh mules for transportation to Europe.

Workers pay money to their unions. If the Unions declare strikes, they should pay the WORKERS STRIKE PAY.

This has been overtaken by events. Since IPOB is now a terrorist organization (like ISIS), you cannot negotiate with it. Terrorism is an international crime.

FFK has never done a hard job in his life. He keeps living off the past glory of his father. Let the Igbo miscreants come and disrupt commercial life in Lagos and see how the 'more blessing boys' will welcome them. The Igbos should demonstrate at ALABA, and let the LASG shut it down for security reasons, 'FOREVER". If the Eastern governors do not understand that they are the chief security officers of their states, let LASG teach them.

I do not support the idea that police should shoot these thugs. Have the run out of tear gas? The police should use tear gas to disperse them. That way, they shed some tears, go to wash their faces and come back for some more another day.

This is the guy that will finally stop the Igbos from celebrating Easter and Christmas.Judaism and Christianity don't mix. Finally, all your ancestral shrines will be gone. Up the Igbo SUPREME leader.

We do not need to get high blood pressure over the IGBOS leaving the Country. There is everything to make Igboland into a PARADISE. they can start by relocating from the NORTH, and start flying directly into the PARADISE on Ethiopian Airlines directly to ENUGU.

Since this beating of chest by the Igbos, I'm yet to hear of a single Igbo man call on their Senators to raise a bill for a Constitutional Amendment on restructuring.

People should stop overheating the polity. If you cannot live and respect your hosts, you should be free to return to your PARADISE. The Igbos should be willing and able to return to their PARADISE.
